Hey guys, Haven't been on here very much in a while, but I recently purchased a house and have a garage to call my own! (and my fiances) It's a small 2 car, 20'x18'. The house had lots of knob/tube and some electrical problems, so we had an electrician out to replace the main circuit breaker...

Hey all, been a long time since I posted here. I recently picked up this old buffer/grinder on Facebook marketplace. I happened to see it about 30 minutes after it got posted, and I beat a huge crowd apparently. In summary: It's wired for 110v and does run - heard it before I got it. It needs...

Hey guys, I got this corner notcher a little while back. I'm trying to clear some space in my garage and would like to move this along first. Di-acro made Corner Notcher number 1 for sale. 16 gauge capacity, comes mounted on a heavy stand. Cutting edges are clean and sharp, table is clean...

Hey guys, I went out to pick up some steel plate the other day and ended up coming home with this guy as well, for $10. My plan is to do the minimum amount of work to get it up and functional again! I got it plugged in and the motor still runs (whoo!) but the belt didn't move at all, so that...

Hey all, I got this project last spring and have come to the conclusion that with 2 project cars and an engine build going on in addition to college, I probably won't get to this in the next 10 years. This machine was made by Diamond Tool Company out of LA and is an awesome piece of American...

Well, after acquiring a solid core door yesterday from my favorite dumpster on campus, I decided it is finally time to make a workbench. I have a few of the nice chemical resistant tops, but whatever bench I build now will likely stay where it is even after I graduate. I want to have the 2...

Anybody in the Charlotte Area?? If you buy either of these I'll take them off your hands in about 3 months when I'm back near Greenville. Please!! Lol. :beer: I mean, a south bend for $500! :drool: South bend Lathe - $500!!! http://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/4949289804.html "South bend lathe...

Hey guys, I posted up a "help identify" over in the fabrication thread before going to get this today, but I finally got it loaded up and almost set in a new place. Got it for free on Craigslist. Anyway, I've never owned any sort of machinery before so this is a major first for me. I'll...

I'm planning to pick up this piece as well as another one (chop saw) from a guy on Craigslist this week. He doesn't know what it is and I'll take it either way, but looking for some ID on what it could be. Looks a little bit like an old milling machine but I don't quite think that's it...

Hey guys, been on here a few months now and have enjoyed spending my money to impress you all and my time to learn from you. I haven't been able to give anything back yet and probably still won't, but I'd love to steal some more ideas from you guys. *Background, feel free to skip* I bought...

Hey guys, been here about a month but never made much of an introduction at all. I'm far, far away from having a space to call my own but I decided a while back that I don't want to have to live in a house. This site has made me feel only slightly less insane about that :lol_hitti Anyway, I'm...

This popped up on Craigslist right by me and seems like it's a good deal. Asking price $75 - it's something that was given to their son and they don't know much about it. The problem is, I also don't know much about the difference between tubing/pipe benders by appearance. The dies also look...
